- Zelle,
- Clients may also pay onsite using cash or check.
All home inspections must be paid for prior to release.
Unfortunately we do not offer escrow billing at this time.
Do I need to attend my home inspection?
The short answer is no. If you are out of town or your schedule does not permit you to attend the inspection, know that our reports are very specific and contain photographs detailing all the issues found. We are always happy to go over the report by phone, line by line if need be, and address all your questions and concerns.
Should I attend the inspection?
Understand that our focus, attention, and actions are all geared toward working in the best interests of our clients. Contrary to the long-standing paradigm that you should attend your inspection, it’s actually detrimental to your best interests to attend the entire inspection. When anyone attends the inspection and engages with the inspector, as he’s trying to perform his tasks, it increases the potential for an omission by the inspector. If you are able to attend the inspection, we recommend that you attend at the conclusion of the inspection. We will discuss all the Findings with you, show you the corresponding photographs, and answer all your questions and concerns. Because the inspector will now be thoroughly familiar with the home, he can also provide you with an orientation of the home showing you where the GFCI resets are located, where the water shut-off is located, and answer any other questions you may have.
If you definitely feel you must attend the entire inspection, you are more than welcome to! We only ask that you keep your interactions with the inspector to a minimum until the end of the inspection.
Do you provide a warranty
A home inspection is a snap shot of the property the day of the inspection. Appliances and major systems may fail (sometimes during escrow after we inspect) & we highly recommend you purchase a home warranty and perform a final walk through inspection prior to Close of Escrow.
Will you perform my final walk through inspection?
Our E&O insurance carrier prohibits us from doing final walk through.
You are highly recommended to do a final walk through with your agent to make sure all systems are in the same working order as the day you wrote the contract and the day you had your home inspection. You may utilize our Final Walkthrough Checklist, for your convenience.
We strongly advise that you speak to your real estate agent & broker about your options and that you do NOT close if there are items that are not working properly.
What are the terms of the free Repair Reviews?
We provide one free Repair Review for the following items: lack of gas utility & to verify seller repairs were done properly per the fully executed Request for Repair addendum. We do not inspect for post-inspection damage in instances like break ins, vandalism, fire, water damages, repairs that had nothing to do with the original inspection report, post-close repairs, final walk-throughs, etc. Repair Reviews must be performed prior to close of escrow.
Our no-charge Repair Review is run in routes, where arrival will be during a 5 hour time frame.
There is a charge for specific set-time appointments.
What is the duration of my home inspection?
It will depend on size, property condition and amenities. A rough estimate:
- Under 1500 SF – approx 2 hours
- 1501-2000 SF – approx 2.5 hours
- 2001-2500 SF – approx 3 hours
- 2501-3500 SF – approx 3.5 hours
- 3501 – 4500 SF – approx 4 hours
- 4501 SF and above – call for quote
We are always happy to give you a call one hour prior to conclusion. Please mention this when ordering so we can place this in your order!
Do you provide discounts?
We are not a discount inspection service. The depth and detail of our service is comparable to companies that charge much more. The only discounts we do provide are for US Veterans and active duty military personnel. For those people we offer a 10% discount up to a maximum of $50.00 off.
How much does the home inspection cost?
It will depend on GLA (Gross Living Area) and amenities (pool, spa, detached structure, new construction, etc.) All of our prices are conveniently posted on our website for transparency. You may also call 702-210-5333 and give an address for the most accurate verbal quote.
Will you provide a list of contractors to do the repairs?
Unfortunately, we cannot. No home inspector should ever provide direct referrals to contractors because it presents the appearance of an impropriety. An inspector could have a brother-in-law in the roofing business and make him very wealthy. We believe the appearance of an impropriety is an impropriety. We recommend references to licensed and qualified contractors be provided by the persons agent or by finding them on the website of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Nevada
